A GHASTLY GRAVE

NEAR '
VILLE.
W ATKIN S-
ThcBodyofa White Girl Found Half De-
cayed—A Bullet Hole Through the
Head-Foul Play Suspected.
A startling sensation came fromWat-
kinsville yesterday. .
It surpassed anything that quiet lit
tle Watkinsville has experienced for
some time, and a great fever of ex
citement and consternation sweeps over
the usual calm and peaceful town.'
Yesterday morning while some boys
were out walking in the grove on the
outskirts of the town, beyond the old
Fair Gronnds, they found a rude grave
Imlf uncovered, which 1 attracted their
attention and. caused .them to make
further examination of-the place. It
was strange to find a solitary grave here
isolated, from any burial grounds, so
they began inspecting -the mysterious
tomb with excitement and apdrehen-
sion.
Upon digging into the grave, they
exhumed a cofHn containing the re
mains of a child ten or twelve years
old, which proved to be those of a white
girl, as near as could be ascertained.
The flesh was much decomposed, and
the examination was not as satisfactory
as could have been desired.
There was
A BULLET HOLE
through the head which creates the be
lief that foul play has brought about
this strange’inystery. Many of the cit
izens of Watkinsville have been to look
at the mangled corpse but none can
recognize it, and nothing is known at
all as to the origin of this great mys
tery.
The matter will be investigated, and
if possible a solution of the stradge and
tragic problem will be made.
It Js certainly a mysterious affair
and one that has created a very great
deal of excitement in the vicinity of
Watkinsville.
LIFE LN UBEKir.
Senator Bradwell’s Description of the
Negro Orgies.
Senator BradWell has just returned
from Liberty county, where he went at
the special request -of Gov. Gordon
to quiet the disturbance among the ne
groes.
“I was met at the train ,” said he,
“by an influential negro, who asked me
what brought me there. *1 have come
down here to stop this foolishness,’
said I, ‘if it takes all the soldiers and
all the artillery.’ ”
“That ain’t the way to stop it,” said
he. “Just tie ’em to a tree and strip
em to the waist, and give ’em a good
lashing. Just tell me to do it, and I’ll
stop ’em.”
Half a dozen of the other negroes
standing around agreed to join them,
but I declined their assistance and got
tlie county authorities together and es
tablished a patrol of ten men in the
swamp district, where this craze ex
ists.
“There were about seventy-five of
them left, and they were collected at a
place called Jerusalem, where they had
rude shed of boards, which they called
Solomon’s temple. They had lived for
three days on nothing but an ear of
green corn a day. They were very
much emaciated, and the Virgin Mary,
as they called her, was sick with the
typhoid fever. They thought she was
about to be translated.
“In the centre of the temple was a
dry goods'box covered with cloth,which
they called the ark . of the covenant.
James had told them that any one who
touched it would "be struck dead. When
the sheriff kicked the box over they all
fell on tlie floor as if they expected a
thunderbolt to fall from heaven and
strike them. !
“They seemed very much frightened,
but dispersed when the sheriff ordered
them to do so, saying, ‘Boss, we ain’t
doin’ no harm; we’s worshipin’.’
THE PERFECT ORGANIZATION.
The Stockholders of the Clarke County
Building and Improvement Com
pany Held a Meeting Last
Night.
In accordance with the call, the
stockholders of the Clarke County
Loan and Improvement Company met
last night at the ofHce of E. T. Biown,
Esq., for the purpose of perfecting or
ganization.
On motion of E. T. Brown, Judge S.
M. Herrington was callec to the chair,
and W. W. Lamkin was made Secretary
of the meeting.
The constitution was read and unani
mously adopted. • The following officers
were elected:
A. E. Griffeth,president, and L. H.
Charbonnier, W. W. Thomas, C. G
Talmadge, J. M. Head, A. H. Hodgson
and Chas. Stern, for directors.
There were 1,400 shares taken, and
they will be paid by weekly installments
of twenty-five cents.
The company will soon be ready for
work, and will find much to do.
A Talented Musician,
Mrs. Ellen Stanley, so well known
in our midst, will at an early day,
leave for the North to cultivate her
voice. Mrs. Stanley has a magnificent
soprano voice and with the advanges
she will have access to North
will no doubt develop into a famous
singer. She has had flattering offers
from the Boston Conservatory of Music
and there are rumors that she may go
on the stage. A gentleman who has
beard Mrs. Stanley, thinks her voice
compares very favorable with that of
Patti and other famous singers.
Editor Shackelford.
Editor Shackelford, of the Oglethorpe
Echo, was in the city yesterday and
paid The Banner office a call. Mr.
Shackelford is a gifted and successful
newspaper man, and his journal ranks
among the very finest weeklies in the
State. He is also a genial hearted gen
tleman, and deserves all the success he
was won. We are always glad to see

from a section of|tlie swamp where there

good many of their crowd.
“The negro preachers are out in my
paper in a statement of tlie affair. They
estimate that one-twentieth of the ne
gro population was in the craze. The
best element of the negroes are down on
those who were engaged in this affair.
They say that the whole negro popula
tion is blamed for it, and it has gone
out that they are all engaged in it when
they heartily disapprove it.
“That country drained would be a
paradise. Now a white man can’t stay
there all night without having chills.
It is covered with swamps and stag
nant pools of water, but it is as riclT as
the Mississippi bottom. They raise a
bale of cotton to the acre without a

have about all sold their land to the
negroes. Col. C. C. Jones is one who
would not sell. He has a magnificent

Of a Lynching Mob.
,. , . . , . Sheriff Weir left yesterday in search
The woman they call the A lrgm Q f the negro girl who is charged with
Mary is an ugly old negress,the mother
of several children, and below the aver
age in intelligence. She was rather
mild. Her method was to make them
bring their children to worship her and
make them fall down and kiss her feetP
Then she would lay her hand on their
heads and bless them.
“They have released on bond the
men charged with minor offenses, but
those who killed a woman at James’
order to beat the devil out of her are
still in jail. The man who tried to
prevent the murder and to make James
put on his clothes, is in a precarious
condition and it is thought he will
die.
“The orgies they went through under
that old shed were hideous. They
would form a ring of men and women
and dance around with torches, making
all sorts of hideous noises. As they
got excited they would begin to pull
off their uppermost garments. Then
the burning of the baby on Wednesday
night, near Princeton Factory.
The coroner’s jury found a verdict
against the girl, and Sheriff Weir armed
himself with the necessary warrant yes
terday and went to scour the country
for her.
It was also rumored on the street yes
terday that a mob of about twenty ne
groes were going in pursuit of the ne-
gress and would lynch her if she was
caught.
A Banner reporter over-heard a con
versation between two of the vengeance
seekers, and if their intentions are car
ried out,things will be quite squally for
the baby burner. ~
It was a queer case of murder indeed,
and the most inhuman act that has come
to our knowledge for some time.
After the Thief.

on track of a horse thief, left the city
they would take off another and eon- terd morning in hot pursuit of the
tmue taking oft their garments one at a | ,
time until they were naked. They
would get down on their hands and
knees and grunt like hogs and make
noise like sheep. Then they would get
up and run all around with torches
crying Area hundred times. All this
noise was to drive off the devil.
Toney LeConte, who called himself
King Solomon, was following the exam

The reporter was not at all surprised,
for he had kept up with the boom of
Athens better than to be unapprized of
these improvements.

SLANG AND ITS ORIGIN,
. i ‘ , ♦ .——— • ——r*-r—• . f
How Some Popular Words and Phrases
Came Into Being. >
This may be ealledin one seme-an rgj
of slang. But after all what is called
slang is frequently the giving of a new
meaning to old words or the invention of
new words from old roots. The slang' of
to-day becomes the elegant language of
to-morrow. It is interesting to note how
many of the commonest words and even
prases which were once regarded as
slangy and inelegant become’part of the
polite language of the times. Words,
like lives, have a biography. Many
words, indeed, have histories which are
histories of important personages and
events in the affairs of the world. This
makes the history of a word often as in
teresting and as valuable as that of indi
viduals.
Dun” is a word now whose meaning
is known to every one who understands
the English language. Too many wish
thev did not know it. Yet, at the begin
ning of tliis century it was unknown as
a verb- About that tim6 a constable in
England named John Dun became cel
ebrated as a first-elass collector of bad
accounts. When others would fail to col
lect a bad debt, Duu would be sure to
get it out of the dtbtor. So well known
did this become,, that people from all
the surrounding country sent him their
accounts when they could not collect
them. It soon passed into a current

routine of their daily toil never know

them, and totally ignorant of the on

papers, and either think it is idle talk
or else pass it unnoticed by. ■
would have to be “Dunned.” Hence, it
soon became common in such cases to
say “You will have to Dun so-and-so if
you wish to collect your money.”
OUTSIDERS AND POLITCAL BOOMS.
Until the nomination of Franklin
Pierce for the presidency the word “out
sider” was unknown. The committee on
“The small industries are fast taking I credentials come in to make its report
hold,” said a prominent merchant on
Clayton street to The Banner man,
“and the latest thing out is the estab
lishment of a Furniture factory in the
city. This matter has taken a definite
shape, and will be pushed right through.
A lot will be selected, and the building
will be commenced at once. It is kept
a secret as to who compose the. com
pany, but tills much is a certainty, the
factory will be built, and a capitalist
from a northern city is behind the move
with plenty of funds.
The factory will supply the town and
this section of Georgia It first rate line
of goods in the furniture trade, and will
give employment to a hundred hands. It
is a move in the right direction.”
Yes indeed, thought the reporter,
and if the move Is followed by others
it will be the making of Athens. Build
up a town with numerous industries
aud the railroads will build themselves.
The business of a city will warrant rail- . .
roads to be built, and until this spirit of paper took up, and said the third-term
enterprise is infused in to a town it will I movement was properly called a boom,
and could not get into the hall because
of the crowd of people who were not

man of the convention asked if the com
mittee was ready to report and the
chairman of the committee answered:
‘,Yes, Mr. Chairman; but the commit
tee is unable to get inside on account of
the crowd and pressure of these out
siders,” The newspaper reporters ever
ready to appreciate a good word or phase
took up the word and used it. Since then
it has been a common word and we could
not do without it. “Boom,” in its new
sense of ineaning a popular clamor for a
man, or for any qncstion or movement,
is a recent word—being first used as
such in 1880. Grant was being run for a
third term. This brought out a bitter op

word, and not much can be said in its
favor, except that, being a word that is
not inelegant either in sound or origin,
and expressing so much in two syllables
has probably come to stay wjth us. Its
origin is not positively known, and on
ly two probable sources are given. One
is that some shrewd wit, seeing an an
alogy between the propensity of a joke
to become stale and flat quickly and tlie
chestnut to become w'ormy in a few
days, applied the word “chestnuts” to a
this line of business, and has managed I joke when repeated too often and palmed
in the fall. I don’t see why it should
die at all. Athens can easily afford to
have a park, and the new street car
company are in sympathy with the
move and will aid us in the undertak

of Athens interest themselves enough in
this enterprise to get tlie park at once ?
